About the Tannoy AMS 5ICT-WH 5" ICT Surface-Mount Loudspeaker for Installation Applications (White)
The Tannoy AMS 5ICT-WH is a professional 5-inch surface-mount loudspeaker finished in white, specifically engineered for high-performance sound reinforcement in commercial and public installation environments. Utilizing Tannoy's patented Intelligent Coupled Technology (ICT), this loudspeaker features a dual-concentric driver design that positions a high-frequency compression driver at the acoustic center of a 5-inch low-frequency woofer. This true point-source configuration ensures exceptional phase coherence and time alignment, resulting in clear, articulate sound with a wide, uniform dispersion pattern. The white, low-profile enclosure is designed for discreet and aesthetically pleasing installation on walls or ceilings, making it an ideal choice for background music, paging, and speech reinforcement in settings such as retail stores, restaurants, offices, and healthcare facilities where visual discretion and audio clarity are equally important.
The ICT design is crucial for applications requiring high speech intelligibility, as it minimizes lobing and comb-filtering effects, providing consistent tonal balance and precise imaging throughout the coverage area. This ensures that announcements and music are reproduced with natural fidelity, even in acoustically challenging spaces. The loudspeaker offers versatile connectivity, operating efficiently on standard 70V/100V constant-voltage lines or in low-impedance (8-ohm) mode, allowing system designers to create scalable, multi-zone installations with long cable runs. Multiple power tap settings enable installers to precisely match the output level to the specific acoustic requirements and ambient noise levels of each zone, ensuring even coverage without the need for excessive equalization.
Constructed from high-impact, durable materials with a white powder-coated steel mesh grille, the AMS 5ICT-WH is built to withstand continuous operation in public spaces. Its design incorporates moisture-resistant components, enhancing its suitability for use in environments with variable humidity. For audio consultants and installers seeking a versatile, high-performance surface-mount loudspeaker that combines the sonic benefits of true point-source reproduction with a discreet white finish, the Tannoy AMS 5ICT-WH offers a reliable and acoustically superior solution. It delivers the balanced, natural sound quality associated with the Tannoy heritage, making it an excellent choice for sophisticated installation projects where both form and function are paramount.
